Tower/ Wilson Berwick

[heathera1940]

I am trying to establish if there is a connection between the names Wilson and Tower in Berwick on Tweed.  My cousin was given the name Tower as a middle name believing it to have a connection with her maternal Grandfather's family the Wilsons. Her grandfather was Adam Gladstone Wilson B. c 1899 Berwick on Tweed.
Hoping the puzzle can be solved.
Many thanks   Heather

I have most of  this info. Thanks, but can not find any links to the Tower side of things, it appears to be a mystery. I have been told the Tower/wilsons were quite affluent and lived in a big house around Berwick

There is no spouse on FreeBMD

Ok, to be able to work backwards/forwards to find a Tower connection we will need this info, I'm just working systematically through it all, then hopefully we'll find a Tower.  Can you give any further information to save me (and others looking it all up again!) 

The more info you can provide us with then it will save time and hopefully we'll find the Tower connection quicker!

Right ho! 

So this is them in 1861

Blakewell Road, Tweedmouth

Josh Wilson Jn, head, 23, Iron Foundries Clerk
Mary Wilson wife, 23
Elizabeth F Wilson, daughter, 2
Phillis L Wilson, daughter, 1 month

Josh is actually Jos with a h superscript to the Jos, which is usually short for Joseph

There are a few possible marriage in Northumberland between Mary being 17 and the first child being born but none are in Berwick, and many have a spouse missing on FreeBMD
